Hi kransom

Sorry to hear that you are struggling at the moment. I developed a seroma after my surgery last September as well as discharge from under my arm pits. I ended up in hospital with an infection because of it. My breast care nurse put a Pico dressing on which helped. The leakage lasted for about 3 weeks after which it cleared up.

Hopefully you'll feel better soon.

Best wishes
